Why, since your practice is to refuse to look at anything that refutes your premise? You simply delete it without comment, as you did here.

And when one actually does that, one finds that the accuracy of the surface temperature stations are quite a bit greater than 1 degree, making claims of a global temperature estimate to 0.01 degree ludicrous. This is worse than high school level science; thinking an average value is more accurate than the raw measurments. -- Jim Pennino
